Fairfax, Virginia — Traffic & Criminal Defense
A traffic charge in Fairfax is a criminal charge.
Reckless driving, speeding, DUI, and driving on a suspended license are prosecuted as crimes in Virginia — not fines you mail in. We concentrate in traffic and criminal defense and appear in the Fairfax County courts.
In Virginia, a moving violation can be a criminal charge.
Virginia treats many driving offenses far more seriously than neighboring states. Reckless driving under Va. Code §§ 46.2-852 and 46.2-862 is a Class 1 misdemeanor — the same classification as many crimes — not a simple infraction. A conviction can carry jail exposure, a fine, license suspension, and a permanent record that surfaces on a background check.
Many Fairfax charges come off the county's high-volume corridors — the I-495 Capital Beltway, I-66, Route 50, and the Fairfax County Parkway — where posted-limit speeds can tip a citation into reckless-driving territory.
We take Fairfax traffic charges seriously.
